UFC heavyweight Junior dos Santos (9-1) is anxiously waiting to hear who his next opponent will be after a staph infection caused the cancellation of his next fight against Gabriel Gonzaga.
In an interview with Tatame.com, dos Santos is eager to step back into the octagon in order to keep up his winning rhythm in the cage. Read part of the article here.
“I’m waiting an UFC proposal, but probably they will put someone else on his place. As the most of the heavyweights are sick or have scheduled fights, there are few fighters to put, but I believe that they will find someone (laughs)“, Junior said, analyzing the possible opponents.
“I’ll tell you, I was thinking about that“, reveals, laughing. “UFC has no options. Cain Velasquez might fight Rodrigo (Nogueira) in February, it looks like (Shane) Carwin went on surgery on his hand, I don’t know. There are some new guys on the UFC, but we hope that they match with someone more known on UFC“.
“Cigano”, who already defeated three opponents on the event, including the former Pride stars Fabrício Werdum and Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic, expects another top opponent, but he says that he won’t choose. “I face anyone. I’m training for a long time and I’ll be ready“, guarantees. “It’s not good to wait to don’t lose the rhythm. I was on this fight and it’s not nice to take the focus off. I have one month to the fight and whoever it is, I prefer to fight“, says.
